I think the most interesting type is white-necked heron

Oops - I was thinking you are in North America?!
Where actually did you see the White-necked Heron?

But on a lawn I could find this...

Some more of our grey goose family from last weekend

WARNING! Cuteness alarm!

Right now, I'm just hoping that all the young birds won't die from freezing.
The temps dropped from 24°C down to 5°C, with some frosts in the night.
Down feathers might help...

Cute! Nice series, Maximilian.

I'm in North America in Virginia. I've never seen a white necked heron, but I see a lot of red neck humans!

That little goldcrest is just wonderful.
I wish I could see one again. Right now I only hear them in the forrest.

That kingkish is going to join a punk or newwave band? great photo!

Maybe a punk band with our local female Common Mergansers. The debut album: WaterFoul.

You can see a lot of red-neck humans everywhere in the world - unfortunately!

First photo I posted some time ago (February 10) and look how that little guy looks today! Well, it's little tired after a fly to the ocean and parents are still coming with fish (sometimes waiting for the young to come back from it's trips to serve him/her that fish!) but very soon it will be absolutely self-sustaining!
After that boring photos of some of the commons...

Thanks for the follow-up. Very nice series, ISv.

Thanks for the follow-up. Very nice series, ISv.

The follow-up can't be easier: that bird is ~6-7 meters from the entrance of the Research building of the UH Medical School. I'm passing there several times per day and we already have a net of informers (mostly students but by far not only - even some guys from the security got involved) that is shadowing every step/fly of the "our bird". I would say it's a great option to release the pressure from the job?!
